Excel 2016 "Encrypt With Password" Option is Grayed Out

1

Although I have the open password, I cannot change it since the "Encrypt With Password" option is grayed out under File>Info>Protect Workbook, similar to image below.

enter image description here

@DavidPostill Yes, but did not find the Security folder for office 16. Anyway, the Encrypt option is no longer grated out after reopening the file. Not sure what changed. – Lucas – 2019-03-14T20:24:28.307
